You know, I haven't tried it on my Athlon system.  I got so pissed off before,
I just deleted the demo, and wrote it off as trash...

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

If you're looking for an interesting diversion, you might try the Le
Mans demo again -- the graphics are VERY nice IMO, and the driving
model is fun, at least.  

Since you've got an Athlon system now, I'd also recommend checking out
the SoS demo again -- with FSAA enabled, the 800 x 600 resolution
looks GREAT, and it's MUCH smoother on my Duron 750 than it was on my
K6-500 (and the CTFJ utility made it playable, at least).  At the very
least, it makes for a nice break when you get too frustrated with the
GPLRank!

Every time I read a post of you, I think it's signed by Dale
Earnhardt, Sr. Then I read on and realise it's you, not a voice from
beyond. :)

Weird sig. ;-)
